Festa rija nas docas
Pac (Da Weasel) e Valdjiu (Blasted Mechanism) asseguram a passagem de ano nas Docas. “há sempre razões para comemorar”, dizem
Hoje há festa “brava” para o lado das Docas. Blasted Mechanism e Da Weseal são os nomes encarregues de aquecer a noite de passagem de ano e se é verdade que 2002 não foi especialmente famoso, Pac e Valdjiu fazem questão de dizer que há sempre motivos para comemorar.
“A conjuntura social e política está de facto um pouco abalada, mas penso que a música consegue romper com isso”, diz Valdjiu, um dos elementos dos Blasted Mechanism. “Acredito que vai haver pessoal a ir tomar banho ao rio e tudo”.
Pac, dos Da Weasel, afirma que as Docas vão oferecer a noite mais poderosa do “réveillon” e revela que o grupo vai apresentar-se igual a si mesmo, que é como quem diz, devastador. “O espectáculo vai ser muito na linha do que andámos a fazer durante este ano. Só vamos tocar dois temas menos habituais, um dos quais nunca tocámos ao vivo. Tirando isso vai ser um espectáculo normal dos Da Weasel com especial incidência no último trabalho”, conta.
Mas a noite de hoje tem especial significado para os Blasted Mechanism. “Vamos dar o último concerto com aquilo a que chamamos a imagem de segunda geração, que nos acompanha desde 1999”, explica Valdjiu. O mesmo é dizer que o grupo vai mudar de “guarda roupa” e de espectáculo. “A geração que está para vir está muito potente”, promete o músico que recusa revelar muito mais da nossa fase do colectivo. “A partir de Fevereiro vai-se saber. Até lá fica no segredo dos Deuses”.
E embora a data seja para despedidas o grupo vai já apresentar algumas novidades. “Vamos tocar temas novos extraídos do próximo trabalho o que vai ser uma lufada de ar fresco porque nos últimos anos temos apresentado sempre o mesmo repertório”, garante. Para ouvir vão estar, entre outras, canções como “Walking On a Better Day”, “Are You Ready” e “No Solution”. “Mas na totalidade do espectáculo vamos tentar fazer uma miscelânia de temas antigos e novos”, remata o músico.
E porque o tempo é de balanços, quer os Da Weasel quer os Blasted Mechanism nem têm muitas razões de queixa do ano que agora acaba. Quem o diz é o póprio Valdjiu. “Este foi talvez o melhor ano do Blasted.
Tocámos muito. Demos mais de 30 espectáculos”, conta. “Para além de termos conseguido reunir uma grande equipa à nossa volta, montámos um estúdio e tocámos lá fora pela primeira vez”. Sobre esse espectáculo, em Londres, Valdjiu confessa que é uma das melhores recordações de 2002. “Demos um concerto para uma casa cheia e as coisas correram tão bem que conseguimos arranjar uma empresa de ‘management’ com a qual já assinámos e tudo”.
No ano que agora acaba os Blasted conseguiram também uma excelente colocação nos festivais (no Sudoeste chegaram a ser eleitos a banda que proporcionou o melhor espectáculo depois de Chemical Brothers) e foram escolhidos para representar Portugal no Festival Eurosonic. “Curiosamente, fomos escolhidos para cabeças de cartaz de uma das maiores datas do Festival”.
Mas para os Da Weasel, 2002 também não correu nada mal. “Foi um ano marcado pela nossa internacionalização na MTV. Fizemos um circuito de concertos que não é de todo o dos Da Weasel porque fomos a terras em que nunca tínhamos tocado. Foi talvez o ano que demos mais espectáculos que melhor correu em termos discográficos”, remata Pac.

I recently had a person come into my office who had tried numerous things to quit smoking and had failed every time. When I spoke with her about her past experiences, she told me about how horrible and “nervous” she felt while on Zyban / Wellbutrin which is something that many clients tell me.
In examining the reasons why she had not been able to stop smoking, I got an answer that seems strange when you think about it logically, but yet is a very common answer… fear of “losing my best friend”. How can something be your “best friend” when by your own report, you say you hate the sell, inconvenience and cost? She hated being controlled by cigarettes, but yet called them her “best friend”.
The answer surfaced very quickly once I made contact with the “inner smoker” and followed the chain of feelings to determine the “core feeling” was that the “inner smoker” was trying to get by smoking. It was about “love”. At the unconscious level, smoking was “love”. Any wonder it was hard to quit… love is a very basic human need.
